Jake,
I'd like to see what plants you use for ground cover in the wet locations since I am still trying to finish my landscaping of my new pond. I'd be interested in swapping some, if I had any - and I'll keep that in mind as I find some. I do have some floating plants that I can offer you, but they are pretty common (at least in south Louisiana), e.g. water hyacynth, water lettuce, iris, etc...

Kent -
I am not set up to send plants to Louisiana. However, i would recommend finding low, vine-like ground covers at your local nursery. I then place then in the gravel on the edge of the stream - where the roots stay wet, yet not so deep that it drowns the plant.

Many terrestrial plants grow great in ponds - Actually more people are starting to put floating islands in their ponds (this device allows the roots to stay wet and the plant dry). With this technique almost any plant can become a pond plant!

I have had good luck with many of the perennial ground covers so far along my stream. If it would ever stop raining here I will go out and take some pictures for you!
